A big, physical power forward with 596 career points in 884 games, is on pace for 30+ goals this year, while having 3 fights already this year. All of this after a season which he came back from a bad wrist injury. Analytics has blinded the common fan from reality.
#LetsGoOilers
It’s crazy how
@OilersNation
will tweet out a video of Spector coming at Kane for him being a “drama bringer”, but won’t repost or even mention this beautiful tweet by Cecily. This is just unacceptable. The fans want fair & honest journalism, not sensationalism.
#LetsGoOilers
Evander Kane is a better NHL player than Jake Debrusk, & I can’t believe this needs to even be said. The Oilers need to have Kane healthy going into next year, not dump him for salary cap reasons. You don’t just get rid of perennial 20+ goal scorers…
#LetsGoOilers
Let me reiterate… Jack Campbell had a .961 SV% in 118 minutes for the Oilers last playoffs. His overall playoff SV% is .920, which is .39 better than Skinner’s (they aren’t even close). Bring Jack back, this has a classic redemption story written all over it!
#LetsGoOilers
To all those spelling doom & gloom for the Oilers, or trying to dunk on Ken Holland, fuck you! You aren’t part of the true fanbase. The Oilers are going back to Rogers Place for game 6. Playoffs are never easy, but we’ll win this series, have faith. Oil in 7.
#LetsGoOilers
To everybody who trashed Evander Kane throughout this regular season: go learn hockey. What a player this guy is, a true playoff performer!

@worldhockeyrpt
Ain’t nothing racist about this, wtf are you going on about? 😂 Lamoriello has always done this, the Yankees are the same way too.
All this talk about the rouge being “embarrassing for the CFL”. Meanwhile, in the NFL they’ve completely removed traditional kickoffs, can’t touch QB’s without with a 15 yard flag & they banned the “hip drop tackle” this year 😂 Weird rules doesn’t = embarrassing league.
#CFL
The one & only Oilers player Zach Laing has criticized all night? Evander Kane. Wayne Gretzky’s praising him during the intermission, while Zach Laing continues to show his petty bias. Oof 😂
#LetsGoOilers
Oilers fans, take a deep breath & relax. We just went toe to toe with the 2022 Cup champions, & lost in gimmicky 3 on 3 which literally cannot happen in the playoffs. If anything, this was a great sign for the boys! Believe in the team.
#LetsGoOilers
Early wild prediction for the Oilers: Philip Broberg takes an even bigger step this year, & becomes a true NHL
#1
dman. Going into playoffs, he’ll be on the top pair! That’s the potential this guy has, & watch out NHL when it happens.
#LetsGoOilers
Do these morons not realize it’s a 2-1 series in the WCF? The Oilers can win the Cup this year, but yeah sure let’s call the McDavid/Draisaitl era a waste. People are so damn delusional 😂
#LetsGoOilers
$5M for Jack Campbell. $9.25M for Darnell Nurse. Henrique as his big deadline fish. Never truly fixing the goaltending issue. Ken Holland is solely responsible for wasting the McDavid/Draisaitl era.
Ken Holland turned this Oilers shell of a NHL roster, into a true Stanley Cup contender as demonstrated this year. Yet, there’s still fans that choose to say he’s terrible. Since when have on ice results become secondary when judging a GM? It’s wild.
#LetsGoOilers
Let’s remember that there’s actually a sect of Oilers fans that sing this guy’s praises, while shitting on Evander Kane every moment they can. What a wild world we live in 😂
#LetsGoOilers
It is pretty hilarious that the Oilers exceptional 3rd line going into G6 of the SCF consists of:
Janmark - Henrique - Brown
3 players that the army of the Holland hate brigade heavily criticized throughout the year, & now have a chance to be Oilers heroes!

Sam Carrick:
26 fights in 3 years
More hits this year than anybody in the Oilers bottom 6.
Why isn’t this being talked about at all?
Low risk, energy type of player.

@Sports1440
The classic Oilersnation Kane propaganda post, the day after a big playoff win 😂 Kane had a very solid game yesterday, while on the third line. Why do you guys insist on pumping out this garbage by Spector? Oh wait, I know why. Zach Laing is the news director 🤣
@SaraCivian
Trying to get engagement by essentially saying to not look or repost which in turn will lead to people doing exactly that is crazy 😬 Don’t bring it up if you want less people to see it, do you not know how the internet works? Hope Johnson heals up quick.
Ryan McLeod just got out of the way of a point shot by Ryan Sutter in the 3rd period of WCF game 2 that lead to a goal… what a disgrace of a hockey player. Sit him for the rest of the playoffs, he’s too soft for this!
#LetsGoOilers
A lot of people on this app seem to thrive off of negativity, that ain’t me. I believe in the Oilers as a team, & the players on it individually. Losing Game 7 in the SCF is about as brutal as it gets for a fan, but that doesn’t change the incredible run the Oilers had!
@ARHockeyStats
Buddy, he’s a hockey player, not a role model. Have you not heard the Charles Barkley quote? If he’s not hurting anybody, who really cares what people do in their free time?
All this useless talk about the Oilers & the offer sheets. People blaming Holland, & some people blaming Bowman. NONE of this shit is gonna matter when the Oilers are playing playoff G1, so why not just enjoy the offseason & stop bitching about the same things every day? 😂
Leon Draisaitl is the 2nd best forward in the world, right behind Connor McDavid. This consistent production in the playoffs is Hall of Fame worthy, & us Oilers fans are so lucky to have this team. Time to get the job done!
#LetsGoOilers
@JFreshHockey
Tied for NHL lead in playoff goals in 2022, & scored 24 this year while playing through a sports hernia the majority of this year with minimal PP time. Still an elite forechecker & physical presence in playoffs. It’s funny how a perennial 20+ goal guy is disrespected by the nerds
Bob Stauffer on the pregame show just said that Kane-McDavid-Perry line will happen this year before playoffs, as a possibility for playoffs. That’s a playoff style line right there… but I was told by Zach Laing the Oilers should trade Evander Kane 😂
#LetsGoOilers
Kane reveals that he’s been playing through an injury a lot of the year, & now some Oilers fans think they’re doctors😂 We don’t know what was said between Kane, the Oilers, & medical professionals. Stop the ignorance.
#LetsGoOilers
Kane says he’s dealing with a sports hernia and has been all season. He’s hopeful to play but has needed to take some time off the ice late in the season to let it heal. Full participant today in practice.
@klooowry
Players in the ECHL are in the top 1% of their craft. Just to make the NHL, you have to be an exceptionally talented player & one of the best in the world. So shut up, & listen to the masters of the craft! People with takes like this shouldn’t be allowed to ever speak on hockey.
One thing we all know about Jack is he represented the Oilers organization with class, & by all accounts was a great guy in the community. I’ll always remember his epic relief appearance R1 G4 against the Kings! It just didn’t work out, but wish him all the best.
#LetsGoOilers
@SaraCivian
You have 81k followers, & you really think by telling people to not do it they’re gonna listen to you? Again, this is just a common sense thing.
@taj1944
Frank is 100% right. The Vancouver fan base is the absolute worst, right behind Toronto. Shouldn’t we want our NHL reporters telling the truth anyways?
Evander Kane return in game 5 is gonna help the Oilers a lot, especially if he’s a little healthier. Florida was playing dirty & they need to pay, but no matter what the physical presence is good against them.
#LetsGoOilers
@SaraCivian
Again, do you not know how the internet works? Do you think more people will look it up or not look it up due to your post? Come on, use common sense.
@samanthacp_
Just like boxers understand the risks of what they’re doing in the ring, hockey players understand the risks of playing on the ice. Getting in a fight is an individual’s choice, & that’s part of what makes the team sport of hockey so beautiful.
@SaraCivian
Make no mistake, the WNBA needs Pat & not the other way around. Pat Mcafee could never talk about the WNBA again & his show would still thrive. If anything, this clip shows honesty from the guys. Isn’t that what we should want from the media, & why his show is so successful?
I don’t wanna hear any more Kane slander. The guy is a hell of a hockey player & will be a force in the playoffs. The Oilers are LUCKY to have him.
#LetsGoOilers
@racheldoerrie
Okay, you can get the point across that women can talk about hockey while not diminishing the accomplishments of Jamal Myers. 915 NHL games is one hell of a career, it also means he’s a 1% of 1% in terms of NHL experience. Why does resume matter? Wtf kind of statement is this??
Evander Kane displayed his elite forechecking & physical presence on this play. He’s truly a unicorn in the NHL, a perennial 20+ goal scorer who can fight with the best of them. What a player, what a finish to a great game!
#LetsGoOilers
@97OrangeCrush29
@CFL
Why? He clearly deliberately kicked it with max power so he’d get the rouge worst case. If you hate the rule it’s one thing, but I don’t understand the “embarrassing at pro league level” thing .
@OilersNation
That was honestly one of the best passes I’ve ever personally seen live. Perfect in stride tape to tape from our goal line to their blue line? Atta be NURSE!
Evander Kane… THE PLAYOFF PERFORMER. People really said he couldn’t play with Draisaitl because they argued on the bench 😂🤣 Playoff Kaner is a monster!
#LetsGoOilers
Josh Brown is a hard-nosed 3rd pairing right shot D who played roughly 15 mins a game last 2 seasons in Arizona.

pro scouts have liked him for a while.
@Kgill39
It’s insane if you think about it. Kane is a top 6 player, as he’s proved throughout HIS ENTIRE CAREER. We are lucky he’s on our team, full stop.
@TopDownHockey
You’re just yapping about nothing at this point. Matt Savoie hasn’t done what? He’s a 2022 first rounder, maybe give him time to get those “high end outcomes” like what? 😂 You say he’s a great prospect, yet at the same time say he’s depreciating in value. Patrick Bacon=bad take
@97OrangeCrush29
@CFL
It’s because the kicking game has always been a big part of the Canadian Football game throughout history since the early 1900’s, & even before. He didn’t get rewarded for missing the FG, it’s because he got it through the 20 yard end zone.
There’s a goalie the Oilers have in the AHL who has a .920 SV% & 2.28 GAA in 18 NHL playoff games, a very respectable sample size.
The return of Jack Campbell, a possible 1B.
It’s time!
#LetsGoOilers
If Knoblauch thought there was a problem with Kane & the leaders of the locker room, then he wouldn’t be on the PP

when McDavid is injured! Think critically, instead of relying on baseless rumours.
#LetsGoOilers
@97OrangeCrush29
I’d rather have the unknown compared to what Skinner has shown in playoffs so far. Let’s not remember, he’s statistically one of the worst goalies in playoff history. At this point, I trust Pickard over Skinner.
@BouchBombs
“Should have a few cups by now…” Yeah okay, that’s nice & easy to do 😂 Let’s talk about Ken acquiring Kane, Hyman & Ekholm. Let’s talk about the Oilers becoming a stronger team on paper year after year. Let’s talk about making the playoffs 5+ years in a row.
@itsWozzz
Darnell Nurse has turned into the whipping boys for the Oilers. He’s an extremely valuable part of this team, & will be for a long time. People need to get over the contract, it’s not his fault he got offered that.
@ARHockeyStats
23 points in 31 games while being a physical player who’s fought a couple times this year already, but yeah Evander Kane has been so bad 😂 What a joke. How TF does he have an offensive rating of “8”?
@AHockey1993
Kane is playing 3rd line right now, but a guy like you seems unable to grasp the concept that he will be back in the top 6 for playoff time. Kane is too valuable, a physical, ESTABLISHED, goal scorer. Instead of drooling over analytics cards maybe watch some hockey instead!
@30G30N
Ridiculous. I pay $67 for every regular season game, but will pay $392 if they make the final. Good job
@EdmontonOilers
for showing you care about the loyal fans
Wayne Gretzky talking about the physical presence needed as playoffs go on, & how important Evander Kane is for the Oilers. But hey, he’s a “drama bringer”, according to Mark Spector! 🤣
#LetsGoOilers
@PKSubban1
I thought the Oilers would stink without McDavid? PK, you should try to watch the games before talking. There’s a reason they’ve been to the WCF & WCSF in consecutive years. A team with a single star and no one else can’t do that. You’re acting like Draisital doesn’t exist 😂
@JasonGregor
Ryan McLeod skates just to skate, shies away from contact, & is never strong on pucks. He isn’t built for the playoffs. Henrique should go in for 3C over him, it’s an easy switch with the strong two way game Henrique has.
Going into the second period of game 6 of the WCF, Connor McDavid has 2 points. It’s funny because it’s not even that special for him, just what he does 😂 We are so lucky as a fanbase!
#LetsGoOilers
@KailerMemeamoto
So, you’re actually ready to dump Kane now? A guy who’s performed for us in the playoffs, & is on pace for 30+ goals this year? The guy that led the NHL playoffs in goals in 21-22? Yep, makes sense 😂 I’m sure no GM would love to have Kane at 5 million! Stop the trolling.
@TheElksHerd
One thing I love about
@victorcui
is that he gets it. He doesn’t deny the fact that this fanbase deserves way better. He interacts with the upset fans. He’ll be the first one to say that he wants this to be a proud franchise once again, not a losing one.
